How To Make Eyeshadow Pop

August 13, 2021

Sometimes you buy an eyeshadow, because it looks great in the pan. That teal or the amazing duo chrome eyeshadow you picked, somehow does not look the same on your eyelids. And that is so disappointing. But fear not, I know a tip to make eyeshadow pop.

This happens for multiple reasons. Maybe the eyeshadow is not pigmented enough. Or maybe you need a primer. In most cases though using a base will help the eyeshadow color to pop.

Things you will need

Or that I just like a few colors. I won't be able to carry off the bold colors the palette includes etc. But once I got my first palette, I was hooked. In effect, one palette in my collection I want to share today is the Viseart 01 Neutral Matte Eyeshadow Palette.

Sephora website says it is “A coveted, professional eyeshadow palette that can be …
